Sanguszko Family
The House of Sanguszko is a Polish and Lithuanian noble and aristocratic family of Lithuanian and Ruthenian origin, connected to the Gediminid dynasty. Like other princely houses of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, its origins are considered murky. Present historical opinion holds in favour of their descent from Algirdas' grandson Alexander (''fl.'' 1433–1443), lord of Kovel and Liuboml, whose name can be shortened to ''Sangush''. The family supposedly descends from two lines, associated with two of his sons, Alexander and Michael. The senior line, called the ''Sanguszko-Koszyrski'', has been extinct since the death of Adam Aleksander Sanguszko in 1653. The junior line, or the ''Sanguszko-Kowelski'', of Szymon Samuel Sanguszko, subsequently assumed the title ''Sanguszko-Lubartowicz'', according to the erroneous assumption of their descent from Algirdas' younger brother Liubartas. Prince Paweł Karol Sanguszko-Lubartowicz (1682–1752), a Court and Grand Marshal of Lith ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Siberia
Siberia ( ; , ) is an extensive geographical region comprising all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has formed a part of the sovereign territory of Russia and its predecessor states since the lengthy conquest of Siberia, which began with the fall of the Khanate of Sibir in 1582 and concluded with the annexation of Chukotka in 1778. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over , but home to roughly a quarter of Russia's population. Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Omsk are the largest cities in the area. Because Siberia is a geographic and historic concept and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia spans the entire expanse of land from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, with the Ural River usually forming the southernmost portion of its western boundary, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean.
